This week's pic coms from Hector Wine Company. "It’s a beautiful day for a sail on Seneca Lake! Noelle will be aboard the Schooner True Love pouring HWC wine for their sunset sail this Wednesday evening. If you haven’t yet been for a sail on this historic wooden schooner when visiting our corner of wine country, we highly recommend you do! "

Backyard Fences

It used to be that most every suburban, and many urban households, had a backyard fence. They were used to delineate property lines and served as meeting space for an occasion chat. Fences are still fairly common but not all homes have them. If you are debating about whether or not it would be a good idea, here are a few things to consider.

Dog Days of Summer

This weather is so hot it’s not fit for a dog! Doggon it, why when will it cool off? Those nasty, sultry days that you merely endure? This is what we call the Dog Days of Summer.

Squash or Zucchini?

All zucchini is squash; but not all squash is zucchini. In fact yellow squash, although it looks pretty close, is actually a different variety of squash. However, because their texture is so similar they can be interchanged in recipes. They are plentiful at this time of the year and are great eaten raw, tossed on the grill, baked, or sauted..
